The Experience

A charming 16th-century manor house in the centre of the village with a shady courtyard and a winding track leading to woodlands and vineyards. House and garden are an exuberant mix of formal and informal, contemporary and traditional. Steps and pathways entice you through a series of ‘secret’ gardens, doorways cut in high hedges offer intriguing glimpses of the Loire valley. Rooms are a delight, furnished with simple understated elegance to fully show off the character of the house and the breakfast room is serene with a low, beamed ceiling. Great breakfasts, delightful hosts; even the pool is special.

Beautiful place, set on a steep hillside with views across to Amboise in the distance. Room (Olivia) large with a small shower room and separate toilet. Breakfasts excellent, summer kitchen with fridge and barbecues available for guests use. Amboise within easy reach, good choice of retaurants. Owner speaks excellent English if you need it, and is very informative about the history of the Chateau. Loire valley and all its delights on the doorstep.

Chateau de Nazelles is a beautiful place to stay, and Veronique and her family were extremely welcoming. Veronique recommended a very good restaurant for dinner (and pointed us in the direction of the degustation in the morning!). We stayed in one of the rooms carved into the rock, which was very spacious and tastefully decorated with a fabulous bathroom. This is a magical chateau in a stunning setting, with plenty of room given over to guests including kitchen facilities and a large lounge. Breakfast was delcious, especially the local honey! We hope to return!

The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Véronique & Olivier Fructus

The city of Amboise, 3km away, is a beautiful town, featuring shops, restaurants, farmers markets (Fri and Sun) and world heritage monuments to visit : the Royal Chateau, the house of Leonardo da Vinci, and Chateau Gaillard.

Chateau de Chenonceau, the most visited in the Loire valley and probably the most charming. Chateau de Chambord, world known for its spectacular architecture, the largest chateau of the Loire.

Chateau the Chaumont & its extravagant garden festival (april-oct). Chateau de Cheverny, still owned by the same family since its construction. Very popular (hunting) dogs' soup every day! Also Blois, beautiful Renaissance city on the Loire river!

Kayaking: there is an access to a river from our park. Go for a relaxed trip on the river! For a more challenging river trip, you can also kayak on the Loire river, 3km away, or 15km away on the river Cher.

Explore the area. By bike: from our B&B you can easily access the Loire à Vélo cycling route (www.cycling-loire.com). Horse riding available 4 km away: we can organise trips for you (book in advance). Hot air balloon rides also possible 2km away.

Massages: we now offer massages (by the pool in the morning, or in the chateau). Please contact us to book ahead of your trip.
